Hello, Natalka, you cant come, Im feeling terrible.
Denys and Nastya left Kirusha with me and went to a friends house; I cant reach them.
Again they left you? Whats going on! Im coming right now, Mom.
Half an hour later Natalka arrived at her mothers place.
My blood pressure spiked, I cant bring it down. My head is pounding
Should we call an ambulance?
No, I just want to lie down. And Kirilo wont stop running around the room, climbing everywherehes still a baby, he doesnt understand anything
Natalka took the grandson to another room.
Here they go again, abandoning a sick greatgrandmother to a small child. They have no shame. Moms old, its hard for her to sit with a baby, and they have nothing better to dojust drinking and partying.
An hour later the son and his wife returned, a little tipsy.
Denys, Grandma felt ill and you ignored her calls. Why did you leave Kirilo with her again?!
Mom, its fine! Grandmas just pretending; otherwise shes as healthy as a horse!
Dont say that! Youre both heartless! Not only did you move in here, youre also burdening an elderly woman!
Then why dont you buy us an apartment? Where are we supposed to live?
Maybe you should both get jobs? Kirilo could go to kindergarten; they take kids from two years old, and you could start earning!
We already workNastya and I run a blog. Once we blow up, money will flow. Weve already invested in ads; the payoff is coming soon!
Thats nonsense. Bloggers are as common as fleas on a cat! And we cant afford an apartment with Dad, you know. You should have thought about that before starting a family.
Im not to blame for Nastyas rapid rise! I had to get married!
You mean youre not responsible? I did it myself, didnt I? Nastya interjected, her voice slurred.
Oh, stop! I told you to protect yourself Youre the one at fault
I wont listen to your drunken fantasies. Im leaving. And dont offend Grandma!
Natalka checked on her mother, who was asleep. The medication must have worked.
And dont shout; Grandmas sleeping. Im out of here
After the news that Nastyas hope had collapsed, they had to arrange a quick, modest wedding with only close relatives.
The young couple refused to move into a rented flat and begged to stay with Grandma Anna.
Grandma, you have two rooms, thatll be enough. Nastya will help with cleaning, cooking, and grocery trips.
What, you wont help your beloved grandson? Well get on our feet, buy an apartment, and move out. It wont be long.
Oh, dear, Im used to living alone, and youre noisyprobably playing music, having guests, and now a child. No peace I have hypertension.
Itll be fine, dont worry! Youll get to spoil the greatgranddaughter
Natalka learned about this only after Denys and Nastya moved into her mothers house. They asked her to keep quiet, knowing shed object.
Dear, stop arguing. Theyll stay a while and then leave. They cant live on the street
You shouldnt have agreed. Denys should have found a job sooner; now theyll just spin nonsense. Theyll live on child support while Nastyas parents keep feeding them.
Denys quit his studies, has no profession, and the army rejected him because of asthma, so hes now losing his mind
Natalka never refused to look after her grandson, but when they started bringing him over daily, she grew furious.
Youre parents; you should spend time with your child. Instead you hang out with friends, filming stupid videos. Bring the grandson over once or twice a week; I have my own matters.
So they began leaving the child with Grandma Anna. It was hard for her, but Denys kept promising it wouldnt happen again.
Nataliya, your mother is now an internet star, you know?
The woman stared at her colleague in surprise.
What do you mean? She doesnt use the internet.
Your Denys asks her ridiculous questions, answers seriously, and then they mock her.
In the comments people are shocked that the youth are bullying their grandmother, though she probably doesnt even know theyre filming.
Natalkas anger was no joke; it had reached the limit of rudeness. She left the office and called her son.
Hello, hi, Mom.
Denys, why are you filming Grandma and posting it online? Have you lost your mind?
Whats wrong with that? Its a trend now! She just answers questions; whats the problem?
Nastya had come up with the idea. Our content lives off walking footage; do you know how many likes her videos get?
I dont know and I dont want to. All the videos with her have been released! Thats cruel, dont you understand?
Nothing cruel. She helps us boost the account, well earn fast and move out.
Solve your own problems! Youre disgracing Grandma to the whole world! Youre shameless! Delete the videos now or youll end up on the street.
Thanks, Mom for the support. I wont delete the videos. Our blog hit the top because of them, advertisers are coming. Stay out of it!
He hung up. Natalya howled like a wild animal.
That night she told her husband, who also got angry. How could you turn Grandma into a joke? he said. The son didnt answer her calls.
Natalka, lets go, Ill talk to him!
Denys was home, Nastya was out with the child, and Grandma Anna was resting.
Whats happening? Why are you shouting?
Denys, your mothers imagination is running wild.
Natalka recounted the overheard conversation and said Kirilo wasnt his son. Denys looked at Nastya in surprise while she pretended not to hear.
Nastya, is it true hes not my son? And you really didnt help my grandma?
You cant prove anything. Grandma had a weak heart; no ambulance could save her. It was just time.
And the son isnt yours but Vadims. He left me, and I started seeing you right away.
Soon the truth would surface, early or late. Im leaving; I wont stay a minute longer.
Denys tried to lunge at her, but Natalya stopped him. Stunned, he left the room. Nastya quickly packed and left with the child.
They didnt go to the police; they knew there was no evidence, and no one would pursue it. The guilt stayed on Nastyas conscience.
Denys, youre also to blame. How many times have I told you to move out? Grandma was kind, she felt sorry, and you you ruined her.
Im shocked, Mom Kirilo isnt my son, Grandmas gone
Im back at work, Ill delete my blog. All this is nonsense; life needs to change.
Alright, son, time to get serious.
Denys divorced Nastya, contested paternity in court, got a job and started earning decently.
Natalka saw how her son transformed. He began listening to her advice and asking for guidance.
Soon he married a good woman, the complete opposite of Nastya.
Natalya and her husband were relieved that their son finally behaved like an adult, a decent person, and hoped such troubles would never recur.
Hello, Natalie, you can’t come over; I’m feeling a little under the weather.
